. good point, how about if your VIN number starts with a J your colors are black, that make you happy?

That would work, but what if you dont have any mr2's?
EDIT: What if your car was made in germany or the UK?

I'd love to see a properly modded MK1 -my mate had a UK N/A for a while. I didn't take to them then but they're kind of growing on me now -I guess you can't really compare the same things to the MK 2.

AW11s and SW20s are completely different animals. Someday I will own a Mk2. Mk2s are the reason I love MR2s.

Basic Performance Upgrades. I don't know about turbo Mk2s, but Supras seem to be pretty well detuned from the factory. The stock turbo elbow/downpipe, for instance, was a joke. I picked up a decent chunk of power and really fast spool just by switching to a full 3" downpipe and matching catback exhaust. Ad in a cheap MBC, set boost to 9-10 PSI, and she put down 220 wheel ponies in overdrive with my automatic. (I really wanted a manual, but I wanted a clean Supra more. The automatic is actually VERY nice.) It's 220 crank HP from the factory.

Doing the same thing to a 3S gets you to 210-215whp at 15-16psi. And they're 200HP from the factory

ohh crap, didn't think about that, does the UK or germany 2's have a VIN that doesn't start with J?

David · 12-31-2007, 12:55 PM

I would assume. J and 4 are for japan only.

If I was pushing 15 PSI on my 7M, I would break the 300whp mark...

All of my USDM Toyotas have a VIN starting with J.

Edit: J looked like a 3 in the quote.
